Dearly beloved, today we gather to remember a golden era—an era of cheap steroid raws and accessible gear, a time when the gates to gains were wide open and the road to physical transformation was readily traveled. These times blessed us with affordability and ease, allowing countless lifters and dreamers to reach for new heights without the strain on their wallets or the fear of a sketchy source.
But as the tides change, so too must we let go of this once-thriving ease of access. With rising costs and stricter regulations, the days of simple solutions have dimmed, replaced by uncertainty and, yes, the impending specter of imbalanced hormones and unexpected “side effects.” We bid farewell to the era when so many could balance their levels with a few clicks and little worry, and brace ourselves for the unknown ahead.
So raise a final toast to the days gone by. Gone but not forgotten, they will be missed.
